This better not be a joke!!!

But FWIW, Sam did play okay in game 2. He only took shots he should have taken, made the correct passes and in general handled his position pretty well.

However, I don't trust him enough to assume he'll continue this type of play. So I'm glad he's hurt. I hope he makes full-recovery in time for next year's training camp for the Nuggets.

You're not seriously attributing that to his efforts are you?

I hope so, too. The 2008-09 Denver Nuggets will be a BLAST to watch with Iverson, Anthony, and Cassell all vying for 30 shots a night and playing no D. Holy **** that team is a dream for fans...everywhere except Denver!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

Does anyone know exactly when Cassell "hurt" his wrist. Did he hit the floor? That couldn't have happened. lol

Conspiracy theory.
After the game Doc and Cassell seemed to be in an argument in the tunnel.

Maybe the "injury" is just a pretext.

Really? When did you see them arguing in the tunnel? And why would they argue when we won?

I think he may have hurt it when he stole the ball from Ariza(?) and Posey got the ball and fouled.

In the tunnel after the game, ABC sports showed it, there was no sound so you didn't know what they were saying but their facial expressions weren't smiles and laughter. It looked like they were agitated about something.

If Sam hurt his wrist why wasn't that reported during the game?
Aren't injury reports reported immediately during televised big games like this?

But Sam's alien species has a super-human healing factor (it's the green blood), so not to worry.

Maybe Doc got so sick of Sam's **** he said, "You know what, **** you and your **** play" and he knocked Sam down and stomped on Sam's wrist and said "Now I have an excuse to bench your sorry arse"

The reason sam had such a big +/- is probably because he was rolling with Leon!
